Places to Avoid While Armed

Certain businesses in Michigan have either posted no-guns ‘signs’ or have indicated in their ‘business policy’ that persons lawfully licensed to carry concealed firearms for self defense are not welcome on their property or within their place of business.

This policy of denying Michigan’s most upstanding and law abiding men and women the right to resist criminal attack while shopping or doing business does not create a safe environment, as only law-abiding citizens will obey their signs. “No-Guns” signs simply mean that criminals have a lot less to worry about and may even be emboldened to commit armed criminal acts in these so-called “gun free environments”.

Although most businesses in Michigan have chosen not to post discriminatory signs against concealed pistol license holders, some have. Even though these businesses have the right to post no firearms allowed signs, it does NOT mean that they are “gun free environments” as criminals intent on robbery, or worse, will continue to be armed.View List

Michigan Democrats eye gun control after gaining control of state legislature
2022/11/10 – Bearing Arms
The midterms may not have been a terrible election cycle for gun owners overall, but there are definitely some exceptions. Michigan, for example, will now see Democrats in charge of the executive branch and both chambers of the state legislature for the first time in forty years, and though their margins are slim we’re already seeing signs that Democrats aren’t going to be modest about making changes to the state’s gun laws.
